Helped hubby scrape the house yesterday for a few hours. This afternoon, I'll do more. It's a killer on the back and shoulders, though, as one must put their whole body weight into each scrape, and as my body weight isn't as much as his, not to mention I have 1/10th the muscles!, so it takes more scraping for me to get each section done than if a guy did it, but we plough onwards. At least the weather is holding. Lots too many weeks to rain.... And one can't paint once it gets too cold, so time is of the essence!
Have the extra booklet printing done, am working on the punching and binding. Ordered heavyweight boxes for shipping them, as I have such a mushgalonz of boxes here, and nothing really suitable or large enough.
Well, to the great outdoors for me....
